This is one of my all time favourite games and something we play a lot of as a family. I love introducing this game to new people and have yet to find a friend who hasn’t enjoyed it. There are so many expansion packs available so once you’ve mastered the basics, there are so many variations to try.

Currently explorers and pirates, but so far I’ve only had chance to play that and traders and barbarians

I play this game on the ipad much more than I do in real life. But even then it's every once in a while.

I don't quite know what to think about this book. Sinners reminded me an awful lot of Avenged Sevenfold at times throughout but in terms of plot there wasn't really much if one.

It was predominantly sex - in many different forms - with a bit of difference thrown in every now and again. The whole book was basically sex, even Myrna was a professor of human sexuality.

I'd have given it more stars if it was more of a story.
  
I was a little hesitant about this book as at first I thought it might be a another overly christian based mystery with a lot of bible references (since the main character is a reverend). Well that is not the case with this mystery. Lindsay is a not your average reverend! This is a true cozy mystery for any fan of the genre and will have you liking Lindsay from the moment the character jumps on the page.

This is very easy to read, unlike a lot of translated classics. I highly recommend it. It is interesting as to what is classified as a romance, as the first story of the the seven wouldn't be deemed to the modern standards of romantic. However, after getting to know the definition of romance in this context, this is very different to the way we look at romance - in terms of love and gestures, the book becomes increasingly interesting.

the game that never lets you down
I couldn't wait for this to be released, as i have played them all, and fall out 4 never let me down once, from the changing your features until the end, the story captivated and drew me in. and just because i clocked the game, it didn't stop there, i found my self making new towns and doing a lot of side quests, definitely value for money as always.

unique storyline (1 more)
the inclusion of the pictures make the story feel authentic
I read a lot of books and this was one of the most unique plot lines I have ever come across.
The only reason I didn't give it a 10/10 is because the story did tend to get a bit confusing. I found myself being confused by the sheer amount of characters and having to slip back to remind myself who was who.

I really loved the photos & how unsettling they were.

Funny
Better than expected
I thought this was going to be an ok/ bad movie, but it was actually really good. The movie follows multiple characters and there dogs, and each story line was entertaining in its own way. The movie had a lot of funny parts, but still managed to get serious during some of the story lines. I would recommend this to anyone who likes romantic comedies, or someone looking for an unexpected jewel.

I'm not usually a fantasy fan, so Pandora Hearts (book 1) was a little confusing at the beginning. However, once the main characters were established, and the plot started to take form, it got a lot more interesting. By the end of the first book, there was a clear direction that the characters were moving in, so now that it all fits together, it'll be easier to move on to book 2! On with the story!

This isn't really a Dear Smashbomb advice post, more like an opinion poll...

What are everyone's views on alcohol? Do you drink a lot/too much/not a all?

I'm intrigued to know how everyone views alcohol. For me, whilst I can't say no to a nice glass of wine (or 2) or a cocktail, I don't like to get past tipsy or merry as I don't like the feeling of not being in control of my actions.

I don't care much what other people think. I do now have the reputation of the "non drinker", but it doesn't bother me. Sometimes it is amusing to be the sober one and see others make fools of themselves. Save those photos for when you really need them! ?

I'm not a big drinker at all, I maybe have one a year. The alcohol I like is on the more expensive side, and I don't like the feeling. I'm typically the designated driver in most cases. I do attend happy hours, but always just have a cup of water. I get made fun of a little, but I know it's part of the territory. It also doesn't help to come from a family with alcohol issues (extended, not nuclear).

My sister just gave me this book from my dad's library collection. I'm honored to have it. I'm not sure if I'll enjoy it or not, tonight it caused a lot of debating with my family. We shall see what I think of it.

To be honest, I was not that impressed with Reverend Schuller's book A few things I've read in other books before and I agree with, then there are other things that just are so wrong.
